Has the Leafs' penalty killing gotten any better? Is Dion Phaneuf the solid two-way defender we'd dreamed he could be? Is it worth it to hang on to Phil Kessel, as brilliant a player as he is, while the rest of this team's "core" looks inadequate? What about the goaltending? Is James Reimer good enough?

I have a somewhat existential outlook on this team right now.

I think JB is getting a little too excited about The Sharks' good start, but they're still a pretty darn good team.

Sidney Crosby is fairly attractive, by most people’s standards. Whether or not that’s your thing, it has actually become a big point of contention for a significant group of people: women. Are you allowed to like a player for his looks AND skills?
